Line Spacing

To print figures taller than eight dots on 9-Pin printers, the print head
makes more than one pass. The printer prints one line, then advances the
paper and prints another, just as it does with text.

To keep the print head from leaving gaps between the graphics lines as it
does between the text lines, the line spacing must change to eliminate the
space between lines. With a change in line spacing, you can produce finely
detailed graphic images that give no indication that they are made up of
separate lines.
